Win or lose, Eagles fans are all but sure to set Philadelphia on fire—perhaps literally—after the conclusion of Sunday's Super Bowl. But one precaution city officials won’t be taking is greasing light poles with Crisco, as they did after Philly’s NFC title game rout of the Minnesota Vikings. Fans were able to climb the greased poles with ease, said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross, who promised a “sizable contingent of officers” patrolling the City of Brotherly Love’s streets on Sunday night.
